President Biden was categoric about Saudi Arabia when he was running for office: he condemned the country’s record on human rights.

But now he’s in the Middle East, hoping to promote US interests against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, and realpolitik is the order of the day. First stop on his tour is Israel, where the impact of his predecessor, Donald Trump, remains evident.

kirancmoodley Yes, try to avid the issues of ethnic cleansing and Apartheid in Palestine if you can...

kirancmoodley He doesn't know where he is or what he is saying or doing all the time now tbh

kirancmoodley This NOT a US interests. It's clearly a Apartheid state & Arab Tyrants's interests. I hope American people wake up & ask themselves who's really controlling their presidents. Why Trump, Biden & all other presidents follow this unjust policy? ApartheidIsrael Arab_tyrants

kirancmoodley No one knew back then that Putin’s Russia would be at war with the rest of the World. The prices of petroleum products have risen as a result and capitalist greed has created runaway inflation. Policy must shift.

kirancmoodley When they told him he's going to the middle east he thought they meant Virginia!

kirancmoodley Anything newsworthy happening in the Netherlands?

La energía proveniente de cualquier fuente con tal de que no sea desde EEUU, luce estar por encima del orgullo demócrata. Why should opec produce more if they feel oil is going to crash again? It’s been repeatedly expressed that opec does not see a supply demand imbalance.
